  1. Wow first time I am seeing this course. Simply amazing IMHO. Way better than any WC course. Never in a World Cup have I thought "ooh I'd like to ride this course". But this one I want to ride all day...
  2. Yes report these rogue riders. Name and shame complicit members
  3. Spidey senses activated...
  4. Wife and daughter did a subscription fashion box. Stopped it soon after because: Novelty wears off quicklyDon't like everything they send - personal tasteExpensive for what you getYou don't need new stuff every monthSame applies to this bike box.
  5. Well I thought that because it is (or used to be?) an access road to a restaurant, I am allowed to drive on that road with my car, just like I am allowed to drive on access roads on private land to many other restaurants. So seeing that I am allowed by car, why not my bike? Am I banned from riding my bike on other restaurants' access roads? Having said that, I will respect the rules and not ride there again. At least I observe the riding times...
  6. Hmm ok I rode the cement road a few times recently. Was under the impression it was a public road leading to the restaurant. Will refrain from doing so in future.
  7. Got a TMTB email yesterday that riding on the cement road up to Bloemendal restaurant is not allowed. Any reason why? Just as a matter of interest...
  8. Yes did so
  9. Did the new Klipheuwel trail past Saturday. Really nice and scenic. Saw many other riders. But had a very disconcerting experience. See attached pic. We were following the red line and was about at the red circle. Someone was shooting from the building in the direction of the blue arrow. Sounded like a high-ish caliber gun. With one of the shots I heard the ricochet come past us. Actually pretty ******* dangerous.
  10. Just as a matter of interest, is there a place to report non-MTB things that we encounter on the trails? E.g. I often come across leaking pipes etc. I do my best to report them to a farm hand, but often not sure if the message gets to the right person. Just as a courtesy to the landowners.
  11. Tx.. subbed
  12. Is the newsletter emailed? I am a registered plate holder but I get absolutely no emails ever. And yes my email address on the site is correct..
  13. S#it getting real https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2019-03-19-wine-farmers-apply-for-an-interdict-against-black-land-first-over-land-occupation/
  14. Same with Cow Pat Alley forest section
  15. would love his
  16. The Tygerberg Trails web page returns server error http://www.tygerbergmtb.co.za/trails.html
  17. Understandable... Missed out on that section yesterday then...
  18. Great thanks... At the Conties corner I did see some sign going towards top of Vissershok. Guess that is what you are talking about. I never get any news-related emails from TBMTB. Is there a way to verify? I did login to the site and verified my email address is correct. Are you at liberty to say what made you close the older corridor? Just for interest sake...
  19. Hi all, does the Conties/Meerendal corridor still exist? Was there at the corner this afternoon and all the steps by the gates down to Meerendal was gone.. Maps still show the corridor
  20. Spectacular riding area that!
  21. I have been seeing skid marks at the top of the little forest section just below Cow Pat Alley at Hillcrest. Seems that some ppl are coming down there. As far as I know this is one-way up?
  22. My son calls them 'polisie hoenders' because of the red/blue on the head...
  23. OK so ran into this boy out at Hillcrest yesterday afternoon. Almost rode over him. Stopped just in time and backed away veeeery quickly. Strange this is that it was overcast and fairly chilly up there so they are not only out when it's hot. Keep your eyes peeled...!
  24. where is this loop? the protea hotel route?
